Step 1 - Access the Advanced Settings

Login to your Vetstoria Dashboard, and navigate to the Holidays tab by clicking on

Settings > Advanced Settings > Holidays.

Step 2 - Add Holidays

 You have two options to Add Holidays

1. Automatically via the 'Import Holidays' for a particular year
2. Manually via the 'Add New Holiday' button
